Late at night, the backyard of Tianmen Temple was brightly lit.
The abbot of Tianmen Temple, Master Huitong, stood in front of Gu Jiu.
"I'm sorry to have frightened Mr. Gu!"
Gu Jiu's neck had been wrapped in cotton cloth to cover the marks on his neck.
The maids were awakened by a bucket of cold water, and everyone was terrified.
Gu Ting was furious and stared at Xie Xian who was still unconscious, wanting only to kill him.
Gu Jiu bowed and said to Master Hui Tong, "Abbot, please keep your mouth shut about what happened today."
Master Huitong nodded. "This is concerning the reputation of the donor, so I will keep my mouth shut. I promise that this matter will not go beyond the backyard of Tianmen Temple."
Gu Jiu looked behind Master Huitong.
Master Huitong was accompanied only by a young novice monk.
Master Huitong introduced him, "This is my disciple. Don't worry about him, Mr. Gu. The gate is locked, so this matter won't spread to the front yard."
Gu Jiu's expression relaxed, "Excuse me, Master Abbot."
"It was our defense that failed, so we should take care of the aftermath for Donor Gu. Do you need me to deal with those thieves?"
"Thank you, Master Abbot. We will deal with these thieves ourselves."
Master Huitong chanted the Buddha's name and said, "Since that's the case, I'll take my leave now."
"Master, take care."
After seeing Master Huitong off, Gu Jiu sat down again.
Gu Ting was furious. "Sister, what should we do with Xie Xian? Just kill him."
Gu Jiu glanced at the unconscious Xie Xian lightly, then said lightly: "Killing him would be too easy for him."
"If I don't kill him, I won't be able to relieve the hatred in my heart."
Gu Jiu looked at Gu Ting and said, "Brother, don't dirty your hands for this kind of person. Xie Xian is just a pawn, but if used well, he can be of great use."
"What should my sister do?" Gu Ting looked curious.
Gu Jiu stood up.
Qingmei quickly supported Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu came up to Xie Xian and looked at this disgusting man with a calm expression.
"Killing him won't solve the problem, but will only bring us more trouble. Ensuring that he survives and suffers is the most effective way. Brother, go ask the guards for a sharp dagger."
"Okay!"
Gu Ting suddenly became excited.
"Whatever Miss Gu wants to do, why not let me do it for you?"
Zhao San stood at the door, holding a big knife in both hands.
Gu Ting was overjoyed.
Zhao San was his sister's savior and a martial arts expert, and he admired him very much.
"Will it be too much trouble for Guard Zhao?" Gu Ting asked.
"No trouble."
Zhao San looked at Gu Jiu, waiting for Gu Jiu to make a decision.
"Sister, why don't you ask Guard Zhao for help?"
Various thoughts flashed through Gu Jiu's mind, and finally he smiled happily, "Okay! I'll ask Guard Zhao to do it for me."
Zhao San mentioned Xie Xian, "The blood is filthy and will dirty Miss Gu's residence. I will take this person outside to deal with him."
Gu Jiu nodded slightly, "Thank you!"
Zhao San carried Xie Xian out of Puxianyuan, and Gu Ting followed.
Gu Jiu said to Qingmei, "Help me sit down at the desk."
"yes!"
Qingzhu and Xiaocui brought hot water and washed the floor.
Qingmei made another bowl of tonic.
The tonic tasted a bit bitter, but Gu Jiu didn't dislike it at all. He closed his eyes and drank it in one gulp.
Then I ate another plum to suppress the bitterness in my mouth.
After he regained some strength, Gu Jiu said to Qingmei, "Serve me with the writing brush and ink."
"Miss, do you still want to copy the scriptures?"
Gu Jiu shook his head. "I won't be copying scriptures today. Guard Zhao saved me, so I should show some gratitude no matter what."
"That's right, young lady. But this time when I go out, I don't have any valuable gifts with me. What should I do?"
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "No need for expensive gifts. I think the gift I prepared will be more to his liking."
Qingmei didn't understand.
Gu Jiu picked up the pen and wrote down two prescriptions.
One sheet to stop bleeding and reduce swelling, for external application.
An anti-inflammatory and analgesic tablet, for internal use.
Two prescriptions, completed in one go.
Coincidentally, Zhao San dealt with Xie Xian at this time.
Gu Ting walked in from outside with an excited look on his face.
Gu Jiu stood up and said to Zhao San who was standing at the door, "Thank you very much, Guard Zhao, for your help. I have prepared a thank you gift. Please ask Guard Zhao to pass it on to your son."
"Miss Gu, you're too polite." Zhao San decisively accepted the two prescriptions. "If you run into trouble again, Miss Gu, just send someone to let me know."
"Thank you!" Gu Jiu bowed.
Zhao San clasped his fists, said goodbye, and turned to leave.
Gu Ting said, "Sister, please sit down. What should we do next?"
Gu Jiu asked, "Brother, do you know where Second Master Xie lives now?"
"I know! After being driven out of the Governor's Mansion by the Xie family, Second Master Xie rented a courtyard in the city to live in. It seems that he plans to stay in Jinzhou for a long time."
Gu Jiu raised an eyebrow and said, "Tonight, I'll have to trouble my brother to take people and send Xie Xian and the other servants to the gate of the courtyard where Master Xie is staying. Tomorrow morning, have Li Chuan go back to the governor's mansion to see father."
Gu Jiu looked towards Li Chuan and said, "Li Chuan, do you know how to talk to the master after you meet him?"
Li Chuan bowed and said, "Please teach me, young lady."
Gu Jiu waved to him, asked him to come closer, and then whispered to him for a while.
Finally, he asked, "Do you understand?"
Li Chuan nodded, "I understand. As soon as the sun rises, I will return to the Governor's Mansion to see the master. I will definitely live up to the young lady's trust."
Gu Jiu laughed, "That's great."
“Sister, I’ll take people to throw Xie Xian away now, you have a good rest.”
Gu Jiu nodded, "Brother, go quickly, and come back early. Remember, don't reveal your whereabouts."
Gu Ting took his men away, and Puxian Temple became quiet.
Gu Jiu lay on the soft couch and went over the entire plan again to make sure there were no loopholes.
She waved and called Qingmei to her side, "Qingmei, does Aunt Gui have any children?"
"Yes, Aunt Gui has two sons and one daughter."
Gu Jiu asked, "Are they all with Aunt Gui?"
Qingmei shook her head and said, "When Madam Gui was still alive, she arranged a marriage for her daughter, and she married her off to the south.
I heard that my husband's family is in business, but I haven't been in touch with them for many years, so I don't know what their current situation is.
Nanny Gui's eldest son used to work at the gatehouse, but was later driven to the farm by the mistress. Nanny Gui's youngest son is only two years older than the girl.
Gu Jiu nodded secretly.
What she needs now is someone to help her, especially someone who can live outside and help her get information.
I just don’t know whether Nanny Gui and her two sons are useful.
Gu Jiu said to Qingmei, "After the ritual is finished, we will go to the farm to see Aunt Gui."
…
Meditation center.
Liu Zhao sat upright at the desk with two prescriptions placed in front of him.
Zhao San bowed and stood aside.
"Sir, can these two prescriptions be used?"
Liu Zhao said in an ambiguous tone, "It seems this Miss Gu is indeed skilled in medicine."
Zhao San said, "You didn't see it with your own eyes, but that man named Xie Xian tried to molest Miss Gu, and Miss Gu stabbed him with a knife, fiercely and accurately.
I have never seen a young lady who can handle things as calmly and decisively as she does. "
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhao became curious and asked, "Really?"
Zhao San nodded heavily, "If she hadn't been hit by the aphrodisiac and hadn't lost the strength in her hands, that knife would have definitely taken Xie Xian's life."
Liu Zhao smiled indifferently, "Xie Xian seems to be the nephew of Xie Mao, an official of the Eastern Palace?"
"Exactly!"
Liu Zhao said casually, "The East Palace can't sit still anymore."
Zhao San was more concerned about Liu Zhao's injury. "Sir, your injury is serious. Is the prescription Miss Gu prescribed effective?"
Liu Zhao didn't answer Zhao San's question, but instead talked about something else. "The Marquis of Lu specially sent a doctor to treat my injuries. He hopes that I can recover quickly and return to the capital as soon as possible to avoid causing him any trouble."
Zhao San didn't understand.
Liu Zhao took off his clothes and said, "I took the medicine prescribed by the doctor, but my injury hasn't improved."
And there are already signs of suppuration.
"How could this be? Is there something wrong with that doctor?"
Liu Zhao shook his head. "The doctor should be fine, but his medical skills are limited, and my injuries are too severe."
Zhao San was anxious. "Master, your injury cannot be delayed any longer. I will invite Miss Gu over right away."
"What do you want her to do?"
"Ask her to treat the young master."
Liu Zhao's face was expressionless. "How can she, an unmarried girl, treat me?"
